Moh Salah gives shocking update on Liverpool’s future
Egypt and Liverpool star forward, Mohamed Salah has declared that the eventual departure of Jurgen Klopp as the head coach of the club will not affect his stay at the club.
In January, Klopp announced his exit from the club at the end of the season, leaving many questions about whether Salah would join him through the exit door.
In an exclusive interview with Sky Sports’ Jamie Carragher, the Egyptian winger said “One day I will leave the club, but no [Klopp leaving doesn’t affect my future].”
He expressed shock following the announcement of the exit of the manager who had been the key driver behind the recent achievements of the club.
“Usually we don’t do meetings at 10.30am, as 10.30 is the report time,” Salah added. “It’s normally a 10.30 meet time and then 12 noon training. Then they said there was a meeting at 10.30am. I was like: ‘What?’
“The manager’s agent was there at the training ground and I thought: ‘Oh, he’s renewing his contract’.
“And five minutes before the meeting, Virgil [van Dijk] said: ‘Do you know what the meeting is about?’
“I said no. He said: ‘The manager is leaving’.
“I said: ‘Really, the manager is leaving? You serious? Why?’
“He said: ‘No idea’.
“Then the manager came in and he just said it and it was weird because no-one knew before. There was nothing in the media. He didn’t even prepare us for that, he just said it. That was a weird day for us and for the club.”
Ahead of the Liverpool versus Man City tie, Salah said, “They are decisive games, if I am being honest,” Salah said. “There have been a few years where they have won the league by one point, so when we lost at the Etihad, that was a game where they won the league.
“It’s always a decisive game and I think if we win the next game, we have a great chance to win the title. But I think we have to focus on what we can do and we go from there.
“That [game on Sunday] is very important to give us a push that you want against Man City. The difference would then be three or four points against you, City and Arsenal.
“So it’s still a long way to go. Also in the Europa League, in the semi-finals or final you will face some very good teams…”
